Step 1

Get all the ingredients prepared and measured out

Step 2

If using dry pandan leaf soke them in water until rehydrated

Step 3

Pour the cold water into a saucepan whisk in the agar agar then slowly bring to boiling point then add the sugar and gently boil for 2 minutes Check the liquid with a metal spoon if you see any crystals on the spoon stir and boil a bit longer

Step 4

Once the liquid is crystal clear it is ready to pour into a mould of some sort

Step 5

Then add the fruit to the mould spreading it out evenly

Step 6

Pour the cold coconut milk and water into a saucepan whisk in the agar agar Then add the pandan leaf and slowly bring to boiling point Once boiling add the sugar and salt Check for crystal as you did with the 1st layer

Step 7

Check to see if the first layer has started to set It needs to still be warm but have a thick enough texture to stay together when the 2ed layer is added

Step 8

Very carefully pour the 2ed layer mixture into the mould but not directly pour onto the back of a spoon to break its fall and not damage the 1st layer

Step 9

Pour the mango juice and water into a saucepan whisk in the agar agar then slowly bring to boiling point As before check for crystals

Step 10

As before check to see if the previous layer is set enough to pour another layer on As before it needs to still be warm and set enough to stay together Pour the 3ed layer on using the same method as before

Step 11

Leave it to cool a bit before putting it in a fridge for 20 minutes

Step 12

When it's fully chilled you can turn it out of the mould This can be very tricky I start by heating the outside of the mould with a blow torch (I use a glass mould)

Step 13

Then slide a knife around the inside edge of the mould try not to damage the jelly Slip 3 or 4 cocktail sticks around the inside of the mould in-between the mould and the jelly

Step 14

Cover with a plate then turn it over a wiggle it until it falls out of the mould onto the plate the right way up
